Recently, we have encountered many problems with planetary gearbox and reducers. Therefore, in this article, all of our information on this aspect is gathered together so that everyone can understand the reducer and gearbox.
Reducer VS Gear Box
When we think about reducers and gearboxes, usually, their difference is only in terms. This is because all speed reducers are gearboxes. However, not all gearboxes are speed reducers. This may sound very complicated, but it is quite simple.
Reducer is a gear train between a motor and a machine. The function of the reducer is used for the speed transmitted by these two endpoints. The reducer takes the torque created by the motor and increases it. Second, the reducer, as the name implies, reduces the speed of the output and adjusts to the speed required for the output.
The term "gearbox" is a more native term. Therefore, all speed reducers are gearboxes.
However, not all gearboxes decelerate the input speed. Although, uncommon, gearboxes can actually be used to increase input speed. So far, the common type of gearbox is speed reducer, but it is very incorrect to say that all gearboxes are reducers.
What is a right angle gearbox?
Simply put, a right angle drive is a geared mechanism that can transmit torque at 90 degrees.
How does the reducer work?
A simple answer is that the input gear teeth of the reducer will be more than the output. Therefore, when the input gear rotates more slowly, the input speed will decrease and the torque will increase.
How to choose gearbox or gearbox supplier?
Purchase a gearbox from a supplier, what you need to pay attention to is:
(1) How to determine the product standard
(2) Determine the product of the product
(3) Cost structure of gearbox
(4) Reasonable delivery time
(5) Design process
(6) Quotation
(7) Test
(8) Formal drawing process and final quotation
(9) Approval and purchase order.
